Are you talking about blocking them?I don't know. You can choose to ignore them and click the "Mark All Forum Read" button on the bottom of the main forum page, once you're done reading the ones you want to see.

Agreed. It was most pleasant. And also, on top of that after the festive background was changed, the backgrounds for Mir and Grey also started to act weird. Thomas, has your personal background not been showing up either for you?

You know at first, I thought it would be inappropriate now that there's still falling snow on the Snafu banner now that Christmas is over, but I got an idea. You should do something similar with Spring, Summer, and Fall. Fall would work really when since you can have falling leaves, but for Spring and Summer I don't know. Just a thought I came up with.

It's not much but it's a great way to tell which season of the year we're currently in at the moment, and right now it's still the winter season I believe, and it's SUPER cold.

"As she raised a glass of water, everyone exptected they'd be asked the "half empty or half full" question. Instead, with a smile on her face, she inquired, "How heavy is this glass of water?" The answers called out ranged from 8oz. to 20 oz. She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my arm. If I hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn't change but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "The stress and worries in life are like that glass of water. think about them for awhile and nothing happens. Think about them for a big longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed - incapable of doing anything. Always remember to put the glass down."~ AnonymousPrevious Quote

I'm new here and on the forum, but I just wanted to share that regardless of the fact that I'm clearly no spambot, I had endless trouble answering your one last question. I mean not to be rude, but I can say I've never faced so much trouble registering for a website. Sorry for the hate.

Since the last time I registered for the site was in 2008, I have no idea how much of our anti-bot defenses are still up, but new members seem to be having troubles getting in. Might be something we want to look into when a chance is given.

Type out a certain number of characters of a phrase backwards, caps where they should be, do it a few times.

Honestly, that question tripped me up a couple of times. By a couple, I mean a many many times. Space or no space? Does the first one count? How many total? Am I a really a bot disguised as a human? Or is this a test to make sure I'm competent enough to join the ranks of SNAFU? (No I'm not really competent enough to be here)

It's a good measure to keep out the bots, not gonna lie. But I think the wording's a little confusing.

I do believe it was the last 5 words of Snafu Comics, or something like that. Admittedly it took me like 2, maybe 3 tries to get it right. This could prove especially problematic for those who aren't great at English.
